Give that woman a doll or a pet rock. I wouldn't even want her to have live pets. JMO

Don't give her a rock to raise. She'll try to smoke it.

They found a bank card from Kimberly's ex near her body? This case just gets crazier by the second.

I believe that was planted by the criminal masterminds when they dumped the body there as a means of blackmailing Kim to stay quiet and stop pointing fingers their general direction. JMO, Kimberly is only charged with lying to LE and things of that nature. I think her silence was ensured because CB and BB threatened her telling her we have linked you to this crime, evidence will point to you, not us, you better toe the line girl.

I completely forgot about the bank card. This just rearranged a lot of thoughts in my head.

I think they are not charged with murder of the baby because they can't prove (at this point) the baby was murdered after delivery. They are charged with causing a miscarriage/stillbirth.

Perhaps if/when the baby is found, ME can determine if he was born alive. But I don't think they have the evidence of that at this point, only that the baby didn't survive.

This is the part that’s confusing to me. If the baby died prior to delivery, then MI law would consider that manslaughter and they could charge them with that. If the baby died after, that’s a second murder charge. If LE doesn’t have that information, then how do they know that the baby didn’t survive?

I suppose it’s possible they didn’t add the charges for the baby because the ones they have are enough to go on. I’m not a lawyer. But the baby being largely left out by officials, even when it came to updates after the body was found, is weird to me. MHO.

Killed one daughter and a grandchild and framed another daughter for murder?

I'm a bit curious on the charges here. Their theory is: "It is alleged that on November 3, the couple lured Park – Cortney Bartholomew’s biological daughter, who was approximately 38 weeks pregnant at the time – to their Wexford County home. The couple then allegedly tortured Park in an attempt to remove the unborn infant, resulting in the death of both."

I understand not having a separate murder charge for the baby because in Michigan you need to prove that the baby was alive after birth for murder to apply. If they do not have the baby's body, they would not be able to do an autopsy to see if the baby took a breath, etc.

However, in Michigan we do have a statute for manslaughter for the willful killing of an unborn child. MCL 750.322: Wilful killing of unborn quick child—The wilful killing of an unborn quick child by any injury to the mother of such child, which would be murder if it resulted in the death of such mother, shall be deemed manslaughter.

I'm wondering why this charge wasn't also added to their list?

My guess is they may add that charge in the future. Right now, they don’t have remains and they don’t know if manslaughter or murder would be more appropriate, and they already have them with multiple charges and no bond. Easy to add those charges later and give law enforcement more time to investigate the baby.
